, Theg-fadvantages. of' this. improved; brnifof stove; be) readily apparent` asit 'be seen; that. each.' burner is. supplied with` gas; close proximity to; its burning surfaeeJwliicli-insures a proper mixture of l air-'at all times due to the factthat each burner supplied with gas at a uniform pressure. Heretofore, the rear burners have' had an' elongated mixing, chamber which resulted' in excessivey friction of the gas causing poor combustion and a diminishei pressure.-

Another advantage is that l .am able to do away With the highly expensive and ornamental'manifold pipe usually in front of theframe' Whichis a source of annoyance 'to lthe housewife, fas e this 'must be kept clean.- Other advantages will be readily apzparent to those Vskilled in the art as it Will be seen thatby the elimination of parts, and

the" standardization of burners, 'together with the "fact thatan equal pressure will `be maintained'in each burner resulting-in more eliicient and complete combustion, yapplicant has produced a device highly useful and eliicient in thevarious arts in which a device of this character might belused.' Obviously, other modifications might' be devisedv other than that shown, but What I claim and desirey to secure by Letters Patentvis':
